See, the thread was closed. The people you want to hear this criticism aren’t going to listen if you’re so disrespectful and aggressive about it. (I’m addressing this more to the person who made the video, not the person who posted it, but the point stands).
I think this is also going to fall on deaf ears.

Then maybe the devs should comment on the state of a hero who used to be balanced and turned into an unfun OP meta dictating monster.
Maybe because the post violates forum rules?
there’s no criticism in this video though

that was such a cringy video with full of inaccuracies and i’m glad it was locked
literally nothing good will come put of posting a video like that
My guess is that they wrote tons of constructive critizism on the forums, but it all got ignored. People grow toxic when they feel punished while being nice.
This is one of many reasons why the Mercy megathreads were such a bad idea. Having your thread moved into one of those massive graveyards where good conversation goes to die felt like a punishment.
But at least Sombra mains try to move forward with new and different tweaks on the existing character.
Instead of spamming “Revert”, and calling that constructive, because they used a wall of text of justifications for it.
It needed to be locked - just like this thread.
It was nothing but a witch hunt editorial from a biased poster/YT blogger.
Well also the editorial was from like 2-3 weeks after they posted the Valk changes to live.
Such was never mentioned in the video.
Its not just revert. I recall reading plenty of feedback where Mercy mains asked to make rez an ability which you have to earn via good play. Having it on a cooldown means that there is little difference between a good Mercy and a bad one.
And yet 90% of the thread surrounding Mercy are just “revert pls” spam.
Maybe the Mercy players that don’t want a revert should rebut said spammers.
So then report it. If it doesn’t belong then it should be removed.
True, but 9 times out of 10 it’s just some other flavor of MultiRez.
Or that EeeveeA idea that was decent on the Rez part, but bonkers on the rest of the beam changes.
The thing is… I do understand that you should not be offensive or so. The formal way is always better.
But if you think about how they completely ignore the feedback of the Mercy community, breaking promises and now started to cover nerfs as buggs…
The players base has good reasons to be a bit more aggressive and angry.
The Dev team more and more look like that they don’t have the nuts
to admit a mistake and that they never talk with the actual community of Mercy.
It is reasonable to be salty because of that situation.
And they just show ignorance… Until bubble bursts and then they have a real problem.
PS: i needed to make that joke.
That something is biased does not mean it has no value, it just means that as the audience we must be aware of the source’s motivation when evaluating the content to fully understand the message. The video lacked proper tact, but it presented a lot of truths and legitimate concerns despite that.
I mean, what promises exactly are we talking about that have been broken.
All I’ve seen so far is that when Kaplan said they’d look at the “quality” of toned down too much, that Mercy mains are interpreting that as the “quantity” of nerfs.
This post was merely to prove a point. I told the poster of the other thread that the video would fall on deaf ears because of it’s tone. I’m not saying the Mercy mains don’t have legitimate concerns, just that being snarky and pedantic weren’t helping. I don’t care about their motive for making the video, it’s irrelevant to this discussion.
